Sustainable Tenancies

Breadcrumb

Wellways has designed and delivered three innovative housing and homelessness programs; The Way Home, Pathways to Home and Doorway. These programs work within a Housing First framework, which entrenches housing as a human right and as the priority for people experiencing homelessness or housing risk. Once housing is secured for participants, other complex needs and recovery goals can begin to be safely addressed. These programs provide direct support for participants, capacity building resources and financial support. Workers create community partnerships with community members, community services, housing providers and participants, to advocate for Sustainable Tenancy opportunities.

Resources

Support for the individual
A Wellways Housing Support coordinator works alongside both the participant and the housing provider to establish reciprocal and sustainable relationships and empower and educate individuals to successfully manage their tenancy with the support of their care team.

Support for NDIS Providers
The Way Home aims to improve the housing literacy of Local Area Coordinators, NDIA Planners, and NDIS Support Coordinators. This will be achieved by providing resources that assist in identifying tenancies at risk, and show how to initiate the appropriate supports. The program utilises evidence based early intervention strategies.

For Homelessness week 2019 we highlighted the role we can all play to promote sustainable tenancies. Everyone make a difference in supporting sustainable tenancies for individuals who are at risk of homelessness.
